A pushcart operator in Clarke Quay says a business competitor assaulted her and even called his gangster friends to harass her staff.
Complaints made to the management and even reports made to the police did little to help matters.
Said the STOMPer:
"I operate a pushcart at Clarke Quay. I started in August 2008.
"Two months later, a junior executive in charge of pushcart leasing squeezed in another pushcart beside me selling the same fashion accessories that I carried.
"From then on, it was problems after problems with the other operator.
"I tried seeking help from the junior executive but she told me she wasn’t obliged to help. A price war resulted.
"My staff were almost beaten up. The police came. A police report had been lodged.
"The junior executive was suddenly obliged to help. The manager then came into the picture.
"The mediation was a total waste of time. The harassment was ever present.
"The police came again and again. Whatever complaints I reported was turned a deaf ear.
"Any slight complaints from the other operator, the junior executive would come in immediately. This leads me to wonder, is there some kind of under table dealings involved?
"On Feb 6 2009, I was assaulted by the other operator at my pushcart.
"A police report had been lodged again and I was conveyed to SGH by ambulance.
"The management still did not do anything.
"My staff and I had to live with the constant threat of being assaulted again or even getting killed.
"When I wrote in, their reply was that they did try to mediate the interpersonal relationship but anything else was beyond their control.
"They can only deal with the other operator when he was charged with a criminal offence.
"The police was called in on Feb 12 again because the operator asked his gangster friends to harass my staff.
"I do not know who to turn to for help. Times are so bad now and all I do is to earn a living but the management pulls in a competitor selling the same products that I am selling.
"I have four pushcarts and no one does the idiot thing of inviting clashes except Clarke Quay.
"I do not know what to say to the police when they asked me why the management didn't do anything."
